School Number Nine!
Airth School will also be joining us – Welcome Airth!
We look forward to looking at, creating and capturing Scottish biodiversity in your area of Scotland!
As many schools as possible can join the project but ONLY the first 10 will receive 20 pens and a copy of Johanna Basford’s book.
I wonder who will be school 10!
Some INKY MISSIONS to follow soon!
Doodling/Drawing Idea 2
Cut a hole in a piece of paper.
Draw what might be climbing out of the hole, surrounding the hole, dripping from the hole etc.
I visited the Macduff Marine Aquarium and was fascinated by the octopus. This inspired me to doodle some tentacles dangling through the hole.
The second time I cut a small hole. It made me think of the pupil in an eye. I am going to use this doodle as a viewing frame when I go out looking for pattern and detail. It will help me to focus on detail and switch off from the surrounding environment as I draw.
Doodling/Drawing Idea 1
Take a black line for a walk.
I used a felt pen because it flowed well as I drew.
Turn the shapes and lines created into an outdoor space such as a forest, river, fungi circle, wildflower meadow etc.
I chose to turn my first line walk into a simple planted area and the second into a rock pool.
For the rock pool I used thick and thin nibbed pens to add definition and detail.
Happy doodling!
